Triple Bill and Rehearsed Reading plays chosen
We got together on 8 October to select the plays for the Triple Bill and for the Rehearsed Reading on 20 November.
They will be:
TRIPLE BILL/FESTIVAL ENTRIES
Mother's Runaway Daughter by Jean Medcalf
We're looking for a director for this verse-play that recounts the life of an East London woman from the turn of the century through both world wars, using song and non-naturalistic staging.
variable cast of 5+, mainly women
Contact chair@woodhouseplayers.co.uk to find out more about directing this, or to volunteer.
Waiting by Jackie Braithwaite
A director sought for this gritty, tense two-hander, set in one room, dealing with the relationship between a schoolgirl and a man of 30.
cast of 2 principals with a silent cameo at the end for a man.
Contact chair@woodhouseplayers.co.uk to find out more about directing this, or to volunteer.
Jenson and Hyde by Stephen Balchin
A fast-moving comedy drama about a man who decides to switch personalities with the help of some unscrupulous scientists.
19 parts but fewer actors, a fair amount of doubling - a good opportunity to test your acting muscles.
REHEARSED READING, 20 November
directed by Ita Hill and Tim Saward
The Bear by Anton Chekhov in a new translation by Basil Clarke
A farce, satiristing the over-excitable emotionality of the Russian people.
(2 men, 1 woman)
Jules Versus the Next Contestants by Ita Hill
A dark futuristic comedy imagining the ultimate destination of reality TV. Four defendants have to prove they have the right to live, under the eye of TV host Sam. Three will die, just one survive. Or will they? Jules has other plans.
Cast of around 7, mixture of men and women.

Auditions for the Triple Bill plays will be in January, after the end of panto. If you'd like to participate in the rehearsed reading (no audition required), contact Ita Hill on hill_ita@hotmail.com or me on chair@woodhouseplayers.co.uk
